<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">For those that don’t know what Weekend of Local is …. Launched last year, the Weekend of Local is dedicated to celebrating you, our local shops and restaurants, the contribution you make to our
communities, your accomplishments and the vital role you play in making Oklahoma so unique. The Weekend of Local is a campaign rallying customers to come visit your shops and restaurants and show you the love and support you deserve. We will be calling out
on all Oklahomans to go visit local businesses in their community all weekend long, July 15-17. Think of it as a Small Business Saturday, except this is a three-day campaign organized by Oklahomans for Oklahoma businesses to boost foot traffic and sales. We
know these past few years have been exhausting in so many ways for business owners. We just want you to take part in the fun and make it as easy as possible. Whether you just want to promote it online or go all out and have a huge Christmas in July celebration,
there is no wrong way to participate. You deserve to be celebrated and the Weekend of Local will do just that! More than 100 local businesses have already signed up to participate throughout Oklahoma, from Altus, Woodward and Enid, to Tulsa and Norman. We'd
love for your district to be represented strongly too! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
